Mr. Paleologu for Esquire

Here are a few of my favourites from the story on the campaign of Mr. Paleologu, that will run in February's Esquire in Romania. Theodor Paleologu gave up his position as Romania's Ambassador to Denmark and Iceland to return to Bucharest and run for Parliament, in hope he could make a change in our politics. Some of his friends, however, consider he does not fit the profile of the Romanian politician, as Mr. Paleologu is well educated and polite. The story ended on the last day of the campaign. He won and is currently the Minister of Culture.

cel mai mult imi place cea in care sta langa batrana, pe pat. nu-mi place, insa, personajul: paleologu. cand boc prezenta guvernul in parlament (adica si pe el), paleologu... citea o carte! cata eruditie! de apreciat.

fotografiile sunt excelente, declansare exacta, la momentul oportun, culori fascinante si sentimentul fragilitatii si unicitatii prezentei lui T.Paleologu.
Replica autorului postului precedent e usor inadecvata: T. Paleologu are o notorietate europeana redutabila, fiind un strain intre politicienii romani. Cartea cu pricina, pe care o frunzarea la investitura guvernului, este un semn de realism: la sedinta cu pricina a fost multa plictiseala si e aiurea sa pierzi timpul. Sa nu ne formalizam cu obstinatie.
